Word-Wrap Vertical Sliding Text Animation

Question

My vertical sliding text animation keeps getting cut off under mobile width. I've been trying to use media queries to target the code but I couldn't get the text and animation to wrap together. How do I adjust my code in order to have the entire animation and text wrap to a reduced width? Thanks!

Here's the HTML & CSS code I'm currently using.

/*Sentence*/

.sentence {
  color: #222;
  font-size: 55px;
  text-align: left;
}


/*Wrapper*/

.wrapper {
  background-color: ;
  font-family: 'Cabin', sans-serif;
  margin: 50px auto;
  padding: 0px 0px;
  position: relative;
  width: 100%;
}


/*Vertical Sliding*/

.slidingVertical {
  display: inline;
  text-indent: 14px;
}

.slidingVertical span {
  animation: topToBottom 12.5s linear infinite 0s;
  -ms-animation: topToBottom 12.5s linear infinite 0s;
  -webkit-animation: topToBottom 12.5s linear infinite 0s;
  color: #00abe9;
  opacity: 0;
  overflow: hidden;
  position: absolute;
}

.slidingVertical span:nth-child(2) {
  animation-delay: 2.5s;
  -ms-animation-delay: 2.5s;
  -webkit-animation-delay: 2.5s;
}

.slidingVertical span:nth-child(3) {
  animation-delay: 5s;
  -ms-animation-delay: 5s;
  -webkit-animation-delay: 5s;
}

.slidingVertical span:nth-child(4) {
  animation-delay: 7.5s;
  -ms-animation-delay: 7.5s;
  -webkit-animation-delay: 7.5s;
}

.slidingVertical span:nth-child(5) {
  animation-delay: 10s;
  -ms-animation-delay: 10s;
  -webkit-animation-delay: 10s;
}

.sentence > span {
  display: inline-block;
  margin-right: 14px;
  margin-bottom:0.5em;
}
/*Wrapper*/
.wrapper{
    background-color: ;

    width: 100%;

The reason it didn't wrap to the width of the screen was because .slidingVertical span used absolute positioning, so the container .slidingVertical had 0 width.

In the above example, .slidingVertical has been changed to be an inline-block as wide as the widest span inside it (set manually). This allows the sentence to wrap correctly.
